  1. Okay, I will do myself the favor of just deleting my retarded post. Eh, whatever.
  2. Okay good. Verified - stupid question. Back to work I go.
  3. Just to add one more thing...the campers and 'alleged' bonfires - they are nowhere NEAR anyone. Left around 2am and I walked to my car and could barely hear anyone. I drove down the driveway and couldn't even SEE anything anymore. This lady is full of crap. Best time I ever had though....ahhhh, I miss it.
  4. This is my DZ and I overheard some talk about this crap when I was there. It's so ridiculous. The place is great, the people are absolutely amazing. They made me, the newbie girl, so comfortable there. And as far as the bonfire mention - I can neither confirm nor deny the prescense of bonfires. Seriously - people need to get a damn life. And I agree with everyones statement about giving her a tandem and see what she says after that. Ugh. So frustrating!
  5. http://wfmz.img.entriq.net/htm/PopUpPlayer-v3.htm?articleID=1268070 This is from my local news station. The DZ isn't the one I go to but they are close to each other.
  6. Maybe. In either case, I love it. I don't feel nervous and I guess that makes me believe more that I really have what it takes (okay, minus the funds) to do this. =)
  7. I've had more time than in the past to read some posts around here. I know everyone is different but I am just curious to hear others' stories. I've seen a lot of people, even some with thousands of jumps, say they still get that anxiety when the door opens. Now, I am not even what I would consider a 'skydiver' - only did it 4 times. 3 tandems and 1 for my AFF 1. However, I do not get that anxiety. Not on the plane going up and not when they open the door. When the door opens, I get this huge smile on my face and LOVE the way it looks when people are disappearing from my sight and falling. I felt almost silly Sunday when they opened the door and I shouted, "Woohoo!! - Let's go!" Like I said, everyone is different so I am sure there are a few like me and a few people who will always feel their stomach turn when it comes time to open up the door. I just would like to hear your reactions and what goes through your mind. How do YOU feel when the door opens?
  8. Better to master it now and benefit from that later. Good luck with the rest of your AFF. =)
  9. Welcome! Good luck on the rest of your AFF. Kind of funny that your girlfriend is okay with it. Has she ever been skydiving? Most peoples initial reaction would be that its even more dangerous. Good for you though!
  10. Good for you for going full speed into what you love. I am a bit jealous. Had to take some time off because of finances (left my fiance and had to get an apartment). I have a child so I can't just sell all my things and skydive. I would if I could. You definitely explained in great words what all of us new skydivers are feeling and have felt. Good luck to you on the rest of your AFF and glad to have you here. I look forward to reading your posts. =)
  11. I loved this. Suggest you make it your sig line! And this: which neatly paraphrases Leonardo Da Vinci: "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." Sounds like you've got it bad - hope you find a way to achieve your dream.
  12. Chris - I was invited to the BBQ there next weekend actually. I already made plans but you know where I would be if I didn't. Great fun, lots of beer! Thanks again for the encouraging words!
  13. Jennifer - I actually stumbled across one of your posts the other day and I said to myself, "no shit, look at her! I started AFF before she did and she got me beat by a long shot! Good for her!" I will get back up there without a doubt. I said to a couple people at the DZ yesterday, if I didn't have a kid, I would've sold everything I had and put everything into skydiving and I know I would have. In the meantime, I will stick around here. I don't think my feelings will go away anytime soon. It is like crack (not that I've ever been on crack) but it is certainly an addiction. Good luck to you Jennifer and I know I am proud of you!!!
  14. Thanks J. I wish I could get going full speed ahead right now but it's just not in the cards. But, it will happen. It was great to be in the air again. It felt like forever since I've been up there but its only been a couple months. Even if I can't do AFF again next year, I will definitely be doing a tandem or two. Thanks!!!
